their freedom of speech is more freedom of speech

-- Fredric Rice

This site is not an attempt to enlighten
Creationists to the fact that their occult beliefs are wrong---
their willful ignorance is truely invincible since it is
predicated upon intense occult indoctrination: the conclusive
evidence that Creationism is a lie will never penetrate that
deliberate, all-powerful ignorance.
Rather, this site is for people who wish to learn about the
"scientific[sic] Creationism" religion in general, and
the ICR cult's "Back to Genesis" scam in particular.

To those who claim this site is "anti- Christianity" and
"anti- Christian," I will point out to you that, in actual
fact, this site is anti- ignorance. When you assert that this
site is "anti- Christianity" and "anti-
Christian," you are equating Christianity and Christians with
ignorance: therefore YOU are the one being anti- Christianity and
anti- Christian. If you honor and respect truth
and scientific knowledge, you will have little or no objections to
this site. You may wish to compare a statement from
a Christian Evolutionist to another
statement by a Creationist. We can start
with a list of things Creationists hate.

The Kansas Board of Education has
committed an extreme evil against the students of public
education by striving hard to keep their students stupid and
ignorant--- the exact opposite of what a Board of Education is
supposed to do!

The ICR's"research"laboratory.

When the ICR
cult ("ICR" stands for "Institute for Creation
Research," though the more exact phrase is actually "I
Can't Reason") was not selling their occult materials
("Buy our books! BUY our books! BUY our books! BUY
OUR BOOKS!"), selling their gods ("Every one has
faith! Every one has an idol!"), or selling their
"tours" ("You really must go with us to the Grand
Canyon!"), the reverends Morris and Phillips spent the rest of
the time lying to their audience of about 1,200 people.

Yes, I said "lying." It is my opinion that it is
fundamentally impossible for them to not be aware of
the fact that they were speaking
falsehoods. It is my opinion (and that of many,
many others) that the reverends cannot possibly
be unaware of the fact that their claims
have been competently, irrefutably demonstrated
false. And yet the reverends still spewed
their falsehoods: in anyone's book, this
means they told lies, in an attempt to
deceive deliberately. It is not a matter of "differing
opinions" between reverends Morris and Phillips and the
scientific community: if that were true, the reverends would be
publishing their "research" in scientific journals under
peer-review. Rather, the reverends have taken
an oath to ignore the truth when it contradicts their paper idol.

Just what is it that the ICR cult believes, and what their
"Back to Genesis" circus asserts? The ICR cult
believes that Utnapishtim's Great
Flood (as recounted in the Gilgamesh
Epic, which is anterior to
the Bible's Genesis myths) is
responsible for all of the fossil record and geological
structures found upon Terra. They believe this (or at least they
claim to believe it) regardless of the fact that it has been
conclusively demonstrated false. How one can believe that which
is known to be false is explored in the excellent book The
Mind of the Bible Believer by Edmund D. Cohen (1988,
Prometheus Books, ISBN 0-87975-495-8). It is not known why
the ICR cult prefers the newer myth to the older one.

Anyhow, back to "Back to Genesis" (which should
actually be titled "Back to Epic of Gilgamesh"). Is it
a scam, or are the reverends at the
ICR merely the quintessence, the epitome of incompetence? Is it really
possible to not know when one's every word is a lie? That seems
highly unlikely to me (and a great many others who know of the
ICR cult's activities). Creationism is big business (that is,
BIG BU$INE$$). It sells hundreds of thousands of books and
tapes; it makes ignorant believers funnel money into cults that
are subverting science education in the nation; and it is
tax-exempt. The cult performs pseudo-science and calls their results
"Creation 'Science.'" The Reverend
Kent Hovind is a good example of a Creationist who is
clueless about what he pretends to speak authoritatively upon.

"10,000 drowned by Hurricane Mitch! Refutes the Creationist
argument that human fossils are not found in the lower strata
because humans were able to escape the flood and flee to higher
ground! BTW, central America is mountainous; lots of higher
ground to flee to."
--- Frank Steiger

The ICR cult still distributes propaganda that is known to be
false. Such as a false argument about the laws of thermodynamics which
Gish claims makes
evolution impossible (it does not); a false claim about ultraviolet light falling upon primordial
Earth preventing the formation of life (biopoesis);
a false assertion that the
"laws of probability"
demonstrate biopoesis is impossible (it does not); a claim that
the fossil record refutes evolution
and evolutionary theory (it does not); plus false arguments
about "argument from
design"; plus a lie
about "tautology" concerning the
geocolumn; and a lie about helium
content in the Earth's atmosphere; and the false claim that
Bible-believing Christians are somehow
morally and ethically superior to non-theists; and the lie that
there are no transitional fossils.
The cult ignores the fact that their false claims have been
demonstrated false, and discussed in
so many books that it is fundamentally impossible for Gish,
Morris, Hovind, et al, to not know
they are distributing falsehoods.

John Morris, telling lies. (You can tell because his lips are moving.)

If you have a barf bag handy, and
RealAudio® installed on your computer, you may hear some
absurdities from the ICR cult. The following RealAudio®

As bizarre and as silly as it seems to rational people, the
ICR cult believes that acknowledging evolution, and teaching
evolutionary theory, is somehow the cause for every social ill
that have ever plagued humanity. (Never mind the fact that
evolutionary theory has not been taught in public junior-high
and high schools in the past 30 years.) They have, of course, no
evidence to support these silly occult-based claims, but since
many of these claims render themselves open for scrutiny, we can
list the basics here. Here is what the ICR cult claims to be
"factual:"

As you can see, the cult's grasp on reality is extremely
tenuous, at best. What the cult attributes to evolutionary
science is not what any sane human being would. Evolution, and
evolutionary theory, does not address "man's
opinions," nor do they say anything about a "global
village," nor anything about "abortion and
euthanasia," nor anything about "racial
supremacy," nor anything about "homosexuality and
immorality." Indeed, one is left to wonder in amazement
just why the ICR cult would pretend to make authoritative
pronouncements upon a subject they conclusively demonstrate
they have no understanding and knowledge of. It's utterly
amazing.

Here is another list that the cult believes is a comparison
between their occult beliefs and what they falsely believe to
be the evolutionary sciences:

Note that the cult obviously does not have a clue about
what evolution is and what evolutionary theory states. The cult
appears to somehow believe that astrophysics, geophysics, and
anthropology have something to do with evolution. One could make
a case for Gish, Morris, Phillips, et al,
working hard to make Christians appear irrational, insane, and
foolish, when they make claims like this.

ICR Creationist, fleecing the flock.

So, why is the ICR cult so full of liars and fools? What causes
grown men to run off and look for an imaginary boat on a
mid-eastern mountain, built by the half-god hero Uta-Napishtim
(later renamed "Noah"), as if
the myth were true? The answer to that is both simple and
complex.

The simple answer is that the cultists from the ICR cult have
vowed to their gods that they will believe their false occult
beliefs (the Bible) despite the evidence massed against their
false beliefs. This they call "faith," and no amount
of reasoning will cure their beliefs. They consider
"faith" to be a positive attribute: their
occult paraphernalia praises
foolishness. They know that since Genesis
is demonstrated to be false, the rest of their paper
idol is suspect.

The long answer is much more complex. How someone can believe
that which is blatantly false; that is
observed to be false; that cannot and is not possible.... this
question has been addressed by many scholars and psychiatrists /
psychologists. The book The Mind of the Bible Believer by
Edmund D. Cohen is an excellent source on how Rev Gish, Rev
Morris, etc., can believe what is known to be false.

The good news is that leading professional scientists are
increasingly rejecting occult beliefs. The bad news
is, consequently, the ICR cult has attempted to by-pass how
science is done by appealing to the ignorant and the
superstitious for their support. This support includes violating
the U.S. Constitution and inflicting the ICR's occult beliefs
onto public school students in the name of "science." The
fact that the ICR cult believes it is free to lie, cheat, and
deceive to meet its agenda is excellent motive for opposing
their subversive, anti-American, occult-motivated activities.
"Teaching" Creationism to students is an act equal to
child molestation; it harms society because it wounds children,
making them unfit to compete in the domestic job market, and
making American workers unfit to compete in the global economy.
"Teaching" Creationism in public schools means that
American students would be deliberately crippled mentally,
intellectually, and emotionally.

A question for you. Taken from a source, but still
very relevant.

"I'm a scientist. In science, all knowledge is
tentative. Everything is a theory until a better idea
comes along. Then we use the better idea. So by
definition we're skeptics and we agree with the
creationists when they say the theory of evolution
will be history when someone comes up with something
better. But I have a question for those who believe
in creation. If something better came along, would
you agree that creationism is wrong? In other words,
are you willing, at least in theory, to change your
beliefs?" --- (The Central Mechanism, by Jim Cowan)

A simple "Yes" or "No" will do.
